"This class is totally unique to Edinburgh, there is nothing else like it."-
"I absolutely loved the workshops. I have been searching for something like this for adults for ages. Having a blend of singing and dancing and both disciplines being tied to the same musical was so fun! I just can’t wait for the next session."-
"For someone who never took singing lessons it was actually really welcoming and not as intimidating as I thought."-

Although designed as a variety theatre, the Edinburgh Playhouse opened in 1929 as Scotland’s second largest cinema. It was hugely successful and remained so until the downturn in cinema attendance in the early 70s. When it closed in November 1973, the building was at risk of demolition, but following several years of public ‘save the Playhouse’ campaigns it was eventually saved. It reopened in 1980 as the fully functional theatre it was always intended to be. Since then, it has hosted some of the world's biggest music and stand-up comedy acts including, Elton John, The Who, Nick Cave, Kevin Bridges and Tim Minchin and international hit musicals such as The Phantom of the Opera, We Will Rock You, Wicked, Matilda and Disney’s The Lion King.
